Steven, Gert Jan et al
Please feel free to add, comment, fill in blanks and disagree with my discussion piece in wiki Marketing Committee Discussion tab!
My intention was to gather insights etc from others, while still framing the discussions on our strategy, stakeholders, questionnaire etc.
As well as finding common semantics (eg Eco-system vs community, marketing vs promotion).
This way we can provide those less familiar with strategy-making processes and marketing decisions/activities with some blue print and back ground. (Like more tech-savvy colleagues explained software architecture to me in the past ;-)
Vriendelijke groet,
Marc Vloemans

> The next two steps ("identification of ecosystems" and "identification of 4 strategic objectives" have also been done by the Board solely).

> So now, in the 4th step, the Charter Members are asked for the first time for their input.

> And a few suggestions:
> 1. I think the Google Form would be easier to understand if it contained one page for every of the 4 Strategic Objectives (so 5 pages in total).
> 2. The last question ("ecosystems involved") has two components: the "who is the main beneficiary", but also "who is the main actor".

> It didn't give me enough context of why the strategic outcomes were strategic and it didn't allow me to suggest any alternatives. The mandatory questions force a choice from a predetermined list with no option to suggest 'other' or 'none of the above'
>
> If we want to poll the Charter members, I think we need to provide more explanation and perhaps consider a two stage process where the first stage is more open ended and then at a late stage we ask for responses to specific questions arising from the first stage
